Van Life by Design is operated by Steve and Gail Tolbert. This policy explains how we handle information collected through our travel guide and email signup forms.
Information we collect
When you subscribe, we collect your email address. Our email system also records subscription details, including your signup date, IP address, confirmation status, and the list you joined.
How we use your information
We use your information to deliver the free guide you requested and send occasional hiking ideas, van travel tips, stories, and updates from Van Life by Design. Some emails may include affiliate links or promotions related to our content.
We also use subscription records to manage your preferences, prevent abuse, and maintain our email list.
Our email service
We use MailPoet to manage subscriptions and deliver emails. Your information is stored and processed through our website and the services needed to operate our email program.
Our emails may use tracking technology to record opens and link clicks. This helps us understand which content readers find useful.
We do not sell or rent our email subscriber list.
Your choices
We ask you to confirm your email address before receiving our guide and subscription emails.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of our marketing emails. Unsubscribing stops future marketing emails, but we may retain limited records to honor your unsubscribe request and prevent unwanted messages.
You can also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Keeping your information
We retain subscription information while it is needed to provide our email program, maintain subscription preferences, and meet applicable obligations. No online system can guarantee absolute security.

For privacy questions or requests, email vanlifebydesign@gmail.com.

We may update this policy as our email program changes. The date above identifies the latest revision.
